Estimating recombination fraction via Pearson correlation.

ABSTRACT: Estimating recombination fractions is crucial for constructing genetic linkage maps and understanding the inheritance patterns of crop genome in breeding populations. Traditional methods, such as the maximum likelihood method, rely on iterative algorithms to estimate recombination fractions in F2 populations, which can be computationally intensive. While most existing methods focus on recombination fractions in F2 , recombination fractions in later generations ( Ft for t>2 ) is also important for capturing the increasing resolution of genetic maps over generations. In this study, we introduced a Pearson correlation method for estimating recombination fractions in Ft for t≥2 . This is the first study to demonstrate that the Pearson correlation between marker alleles of different loci can be
